XBMC 12 RC Improves Support for Android and Raspberry Pi

The latest version of this amazing distribution can be downloaded from Softpedia

XBMC, an open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media that is available for multiple platforms, is now at version 12 RC.

XBMC 12 RC has been dubbed Frodo and brings tons of fixes, but the most important change is by far the introduction of Android Support.

Unlike previous versions in this development cycle, the latest RC only comes with a small number of updates and new features.

Moreover, the developers have announced that this is the last version to include new stuff. All changes from this point forward will exclusively include fixes for replicable bugs necessary, to reach final release.

Highlights of XBMC 12 RC:

• HD audio support, including DTS-MA and Dolby True-HD, via the new XBMC AudioEngine, has been added and it's working properly;

• Live TV and PVR support has been updated (this feature allows users to watch live TV, listen to radio, view a TV guide (EPG), schedule recordings and enables many other TV related functions);
